Partnership Brings Career Planning Opportunities to Cleveland

Academic and career guidance will be offered to Maple Heights residents over the next year through a pilot program between Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C®) and community partners.

The program is designed to help residents in the city select a career path and find the training needed for employment in their chosen field. The goal is to connect people to jobs with family-sustaining wages and high growth potential.

The College is collaborating on the project with Maple Heights City Schools, the city of Maple Heights and the Urban League of Greater Cleveland (Cleveland, OH).

“Education and workforce training opens the door to opportunity,” said Alex Johnson, president of Tri-C. “The College is committed to meeting the community where they live to change lives and put a better future within reach.”

The program’s first session begins this fall at Maple Heights High School, with additional sessions later in the year. The plan is to enroll up to 20 adults in the inaugural course. The enrollment focus is on young parents and recent high school graduates.
